Conclusion: Originating in the N linguistic group; the earliest Demon being Aña (guarani) at 56% along with A* (tigrinya). This is followed by a bandgap from 45%-44%.
Demons return at 43% peaking at 40% declining down to a low at 12%. From there Demons peak again at 8% declining down to 1%.

Èmó (chinese) is a dialect variation of Erl (as in the Erl-king). We can se this here:

Dialect             Development Chain
                          1   2   3   4    5    6   7   8   9
Demon            N - A - E - M - O - D - I - S - T
Irish Family     N - A - E - R - L - O - Y - C - M

Emo being 3-4-5 in the development chain are directly opposite Erl in Irish families dev chain. Its just an oddity. For DC comics fans, the irish family name Lane would be Oane (pronounced Wayne or Owen) suggesting Lois Lane and Bruce Wayne share an ancient familial branch point.
